How a Woman Reads a Comic Paper.


1t is not often that woman buys q
comic paper to read on an elevated car
but when she does it is curious TO OBJ
serve her. She looks as solemn as
though she we're reading the obituary of
n near and very dear friend. She chances
at the cartoon on the first page to co m
mence with, and after a feeble attempt,
to comprehend it she turns to the last
page and reads very carefully an adver-
tisement of some new style of corset.
Then she opens anywhere, and looks at
q comic picture without reading the
accompanying description and reads the
inscription of another illustration with
out looking at the picture.
She peruses a mild squib on women,
and her lip curls with gentle scorn, while
her lips move as though she were saying;
"He thinks he's smart doesn't
heY" she forgets her momen-
tary resentm emit, however, in
going overa reading notice top of column
next to pure reading matter) of prepare
ton to beautify the female complexion.
She finally strikes a patent-medicine por-
trait, and losses her head as if to say:
'ryc see that picture in lots of papers be-
fore, and ii amt bit funny. Thought
the paper claimed to be original"
After looking in vain for department
OF marriages and deaths, she seems to
hesitate about throwing the paper away
or keeping it, and finally folds it up care
fully and puts it AWAY in her hand bag,
that some of the "men folks at
home might like to look at 1t.

TWO CASES REVERSED.
II Appears That the spirits DO Not Prsc
tice in the supreme Court


In the case OF Martha NJ. Tomptins
against Harvey J. Hoilistsr and others the
Supreme Court yesterday reversed the de-
cision Of the Superior Court OF this city,
which was decree for the complainant, and
dismissed the complaint. The case grew
out Of the settlement Of the estate Of Byron
ID. Bali and was of great interest TO the
attorneys of this city. among whom II was
generally known tina, one OF Mrs. Iompkius
lawyers is splritgsiist and claimed that
the spirit OF Byron ID. Ball guided him ia
conducting the case. Other SpifItuallsts Of
the city endorse bis pTetense, and some of
them went farther. saying that they dis
tinctly saw the spirit Of Mrs. ToUpk ms
dead husband hoverinf about her when she
was on the witness stand, ami that she wa.
under its In nfuence. and thus enabled 70 an
swer questions which otherwise she would
have known nothing about. From the re
suit il appears that the spirit Wa unable TO
influence the Supreme Court.
The decision Of the Superior Court was
also reversed in the case Of Geo. Truesdell
administrator Of the estate OF Peter Mar
shall against The Widdicomb Furnsturs
Company. This is another case which
Judge Parrish took from the jury. and de-
cided that there Was 40 cause for action.
